Southern Sudan Special Pastor Training Programme

The programme works with a number of Southern Sudanese Dioceses of the Anglican Church, at present 4 have been included and two more are being added this year. Carlile College takes a group of 4 basically untrained and poorly educated church leaders from a diocese to Carlile’s Nairobi Campus and gives them assistance so that they can complete the three year Higher Diploma in Theology programme over 4 years, while as well as giving them extra language and academic support, they are taught to teach and helped to translate materials into their mother tongues. Every year they return to Southern Sudan with translated materials and run 10 day workshops in a number of remote locations in their own Dioceses to teach some of what they have learned to untrained church leaders. Each group tries to teach 150 church leaders each year while they are completing their training.

OMF has been contributing funds to support several Sudanese students since 2006
